Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to efficiently transfer power wirelessly are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a feedback loop to when a second current value is greater than a first current value, change a direction value, the second current value being obtained after the first current value; when the second current value is less than the first current value, maintain the direction value; and a summer to when the direction value corresponds to a first direction value, increase a reference signal by a step size; and when the direction value corresponds to a second direction value different than the first direction value, decrease the reference signal by the step size.

But sometimes there’s sunshine. On Thanksgiving, I got an email from someone, who turned out to be a radiologist in Boston, politely requesting that a nonprofit that I assist from time to time strike him from their emailed notification list for upcoming meetings; he was on the list by accident.

His works have been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden; the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the Museum of Fine Art, Houston; the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto; and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Nice.

Samoan funeral director Ese Tatupu says Pacific Islanders like to help fill in the grave to conclude burials, each family member grabbing a shovel. "It is just not fair to have a policy change – they are making it like in America where cemetery staff do everything."

• Increasing pest resistance is also making some invertebrate pesticides and herbicides ineffective, while others have been phased out.

Abstract: An imaging pixel includes a photodetector for generating a charge signal, an input buffer, a control device, and a switch. The input buffer is connected to the photodetector for amplifying the charge signal. The control device is connected to the photodetector and the input buffer to separate high-frequency charge signals from low frequency charge signals. The switch is operably connected to the input buffer for sampling of high-frequency charge signals in a charge storage device triggered by amplitude of high-frequency charge signals provided by the input buffer.

The Spirit Stone of Perfection can be created by using Relentless Origin of Life x 4, Rough Five-colour Crystal x 4, and Oil of Tranquility x 10. Origin of Life can be created by using Sunrise Herb x 50, Silver Azalea x 50, Fire-Flake Flower x 50, Dry Mane Grass x 50, and Silk Honey Grass x 50. Rough Five-colour Crystal can be created by using Translucent Crystal x 50, Mud Crystal x 50, Black Crystal x 50, Blue Crystal x 50, and Violet Crystal x 50.

Abstract: A desktop pendant stand is provided, having a base with a center and an outer perimeter edge. One or more arms are attached to the base. The arm has a lower portion extending upwards from the base, and an upper portion extending above the lower portion. A cylindrical orifice is located on an inside of the upper portion of the arm. A stand magnet is located in the orifice. A clasp assembly is provided, having a mechanical clasp for connection to a bail of a pendant. A clasp magnet is pivotally connected to a distal end of the clasp by a connector. The clasp magnet is magnetically connectable to the stand magnet to suspend the mechanical clasp downward from the upper portion of the arm.

A decades-old mystery of why a naturally-occurring organic crystal fluoresces blue under ultra-violet light, yet when grown under laboratory conditions fluoresces with an intense green colour, has been solved by scientists …

“A small amount of dye can pollute a large volume of water, so we needed to find a way to very quickly and efficiently remove the color,” says senior author Anthony Dichiara, an assistant professor of bioresource science and engineering in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington.
